Campaign at Vilniaus “Juventos” gimnazija, Lithuania

We, the pupils of Vilniaus “Juventos” gimnazija,Lithuania, are happy to take part in the ENO ClimateChange Campaign together with many schools all overthe world. We fully agree that climate change is aglobal problem nowadays and during the event each ofus has a great chance to express their opinions onthis issue.

While doing the first activity, we found informationand made investigations on the topic “Impacts of ClimateChange in Lithuania”. Using those data, we wrote articlesabout the impact of climate change on natural vegetationand fauna, agriculture and forests, and, of course, onweather. Later on we made the presentations for our schoolmates.

A part of our activities was the gallup where we askedquestions about people’s attitude towards climate change.Our pupils made interviews and submitted the answers online.We’re glad that so many countries have participated in thegallup and Lithuania was one of the leaders.

Also, we made a frog of recycled paper and now Frank is“living” in our classroom. We, our friends, parents andteachers made pledges and put them into the frog. Afterwe had collected the pledges, we submitted some of themto ENO Pledge Bank.

While working on this project, we’ve come to the conclusionthat there are many little things we can do to make a difference.If we try, most of us can do our part to reduce the amount ofgreenhouse gases that we put into the atmosphere. We understandthat we can control climate change and pledge to become responsiblecitizens.

In conclusion, we’d like to thank our teachers, Galina Bogdanovaand Kirsi Snellman, for encouraging and helping us with our activities.We’re looking forward to participating in the next event."
